We were pleased to welcome Evelyn and her family & friends who came to Dorset for bed & breakfast to visit Durdle Door. They also visited Monkey World. We hope they went away with happy memories of their time in Dorset.

Guests staying at Long Acre made the most of the hot weather that continues. Some explored the beautiful Dorset coast, walking to Ringstead and Lulworth. Others visited the famous Monkey World sanctuary.

Amongst the wildlife in the garden we have an unusually pretty bird. Some deer have come to take a look too. Brandy the cat is respectful of Percy the Peacock, despite making eye contact only 3ft apart!
